Anyone know of a better set up than the factory small port?

You might check out Iturra Designs' catalogue, and they're not on
the net. Toll-free 888.722.7078. There's a set-up they sell for less
than fifty bucks ($37 in their 2005 catalogue) that improves dust
collection. Got Carter blade guides on this saw? If so, this connector
won't work for you. Tom

I did the door and it works real well, wish I had done the back side though.
Dust collector in door makes it hard to change blades.

drill a 4" hole in the back of the saw right behind the blade or in
front on the door. this works pretty well.

I have the metal Delta fitting that attaches below the table. I
bought it years ago at Coastal Tool. My particular fitting accepts a
5" dust hose. It's not perfect, but it's better than anything else
I've seen. It was ~$20 US, as I recall.

What I'm currently using is just the shop vac with tapered nozzle
hanging from a string tied to the table pin. If you can get the
sawdust right below the table before it gets to the lower blade guides
then you'll get most of it. I intend to make a better fitting
attachment in the future, but the tapered nozzle is working pretty
well for the short term.

I was hoping to find a way without having to cut any holes.
Thanks, Max

Wow. Didn't realize there was that much difference in the 14" model(s).
I've had it for about fifteen years; I guess it's a little older.
Closed stand. I'm not in the shop or I would look to see which model it is.
